The Commune of Paris.

But few people are fully aware of the
immense proportions which the commune
had taken on before its final suppression.
Its military strength was simply enor-
NOUS. Cluseret told me of his furnish
ing rations, at the ii ne he was delegate
to the ministry Of war, TO $4,000 sol
diers in Paris. And the amount of war
material in possession of the commune at
the time of its collapse was prodigious.
There were $3.50 guns of different
models, with saber bayonets; $4,000
cavalry sabers of every form and descrip-
ton; $4,000 Enfield rifles; $4,000 revol-
vers-rnaking total of nearly 100000
weapons of every kind-taken from the
hands Of the communards.
Independently of the vast amount of
this particular material. the military au-
thorities of the commune had / ECO pieces
of cannon and mitrailleuses, which they
hao robbed from the city and which they
had used with such terrible effect. But
what must ever excite amazement Is the
knowledge of the vast number of people
in Paris at this time who not only were
in sympathy with the commune, but who
allotted and sustained it in its career Of
crime and blood. The minority, embrac-
ing the better class of Paris, was COM
pletely cowed and subdued by this vast
insurrectionary mass of population. Ex-

Powerful Rine.

A magazine rife of great power and
efficiency has been recently tried at
Vienna, WITH the most successful re-
suits. Herr Fortelka, the inventor, was
a lieutenant in the Austrian army, and
during the occupation of Bosnia he re-
ceived a shot in the left eye, which de-
stroyed the optic nerve, and by sympa-
thetic action so affected the other eye
that the poor officer, now only % years
of age, has been blind for the last eight
wears. Undaunted by such grave mis-
fortune, Herr Fortelka devoted himself
to mechanical pursuits that required the
incest precision, and during these years
he has invented not only new maya
zine rifle, but also two machines for the
authorization of iron, steel and other
metals, at very small cost; further, an
apparatus for automatically mapping, a
new micrometer, a new sort OF gunpoW-
der. not to speak of smaller inventions
which found their way into the lesser
industrial establishments OF Vienna. TO
an interviewer who expressed his aston
ishment at the possibility OF devlslrg
complicated machines without being
able to see the separate parts, the blind
inventor said: ''I see with my fingers,
and not in one single case have they
deceived me. It's really curious that
when great or minute measurements are
in question, those who see with their
ewes are wrong, and /, with the use OF
my fingers, am right. The models for
my machines against oxidation OF metals
were entirely made by myself from
carved wood, with the help OF string,
wire and bread crumb."

ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.
A Young Man Named Davidson
Shoots Himself at LahaIna.

On Saturday, July I'd, half-caste
named Charles Davidson, student at
Lahainaluna Seminary, Lahaina, Maui,
accidentally shot himself.
1t appears on that day he went out
shooting with sever Il of his classmates
in the neighboring woods. He carried a
double-barreled shotgun, and loaded it
before he started Reaching the woods
plover came in sight, and Davidson,
taking aim, shot and killed it, the bird
falling in some thick bushes.
Young Davidson took hold of his gun
by the muzzle, and in attempting to clear
the thick brush away to get at the bird,
the other barrel went off The shot en-
tered his abdomen and he fell to the
ground. His companions, who were
some little distance off, Immediately ran
to his assistance, and carried him to
shady place. They asked him several
questions, but received no answer, which
caused them to become alarmed. He
was alive then, but five minutes alter
wards he breathed his last. Upon ex-
animation his schoolmates found his
bowels protruding, and one OF them,
Kekipi, put them back in their place.
Some natives who were working
short distance away were summoned,
and they carried the dead body TO the
Seminary. The funeral took place the
following day, the remains being in
tered in the cemetery.
Mr.. Hitchcock, the Principal OF the
Seminary, was absent at Lahaina at the
time of the affair. He had always pro-
hibited the use of firearms, but it seems
the young man took advantage of his
absence and went out shooting, with the
above result.
The deceased was about II years of
age, and a bright and intelligent youth.
His parents are both dead, but he was
cared for by MIR. Davidson, his foster
father. His nearest relative is cousin
living at Lahaina. Dr. Kuehn, the Gov
eminent physician, was sent for after
the shooting, but of course he arrived
too late.
